After all the shit storms going down and the oppressive heat, it was great to see some great news through Variety, Craig McCracken will be involved with rebooting (or continuing) his two earliest creations from his long career…The Powerpuff Girls and Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. Recently, PPG was brought back briefly and without the original three voices for the girls. It didn’t last very long and I haven’t seen it but all episodes are available with HBO Max. I have no opinion of it as I’ve never seen any from that run. I think most people are aware of the failed attempt to make a live-action version under Greg Berlanti and crew. He was pretty successful in creating the Arrowverse so Warner Brothers going with him was logical. Making the PPG adults might have been what kept the live-action from working out. Despite that, they’re going to try again.
I don’t care though. I’m just stoked to know Craig is back after being away for some years and I’m confident he’ll either do a plausible reboot/do-over or better, just have the stories pick up where they left off. With PPG, they can be little kids forever. With Foster’s, I would be impressed if they went forward in time with Mac being a young adult, helping a very adult Frankie run the house since Madame Foster has passed away. Old Bloo remains unadopted, not due to Mac sticking around, let’s face it, Bloo is a pretty difficult friend to have given his selfishness. Maybe Wilt, Coco and Eduardo are back after they’ve been a child’s friend a couple times. The possibilities are endless! Glad to have you back Craig!
